Digital To Analog (audio) Chip? - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Anyone know the DAC chip used in the HTC Fuze? Am curious what the maximum audio resolution file it can handle. Many thanks.
Enjoy the Music,
Steven

The CD has a 16bit audio resolution sampled by 44100Hz and full stereo. I think,that all 2000+ devices running 200mhz+ processors performs not less than 25years old technology. Is it not enough for you? For me it is.

Thanks for the Redbook specification on CD. Back to the original question, does anyone know the DAC specification on the Fuze?

Raphael is not CD player. It has its own audio device and who knows how it decodes mp3s or "optimizes" the playback

Eactly, i am curious to the audio chipset used in the Fuze and that helps to develop/know what codecs might be employed. Looks like i'll have to ask HTC directly, though was hoping someone here knew. Many thanks.

video encoding for VOGUE/HTC Touch

I've been searching but can't find it... everything in the forum seems to have vogue as a tag...
What are the parameters / codecs to encode video to play on the vogue, either in the default player or the wm player?
Try this

Good luck!
I have read somewhere (Sorry can't remember where) that the vogue cannot play video's very well - has something to do with the type of processor it has. Sorry I wish I could be of more help.
I have HTC Elfin and use pocket divx encoder to encode video's for playback on my device and use TCPMP to play the video's without any problem.
Hopefully the app in the link provided above works for you
The application referenced here does a pretty good job - but there are audio sync issues.
Using a similar profile in Super yields slightly lower video quality (because it is one pass encoding) and the audio is more in sync.
Are there other "less processor intensive" codecs that one should use to encode video to this device? Space is not the issue - I have an 8gb micro SD card..., I want decent quality that I can watch.

Does that have presets for the TOUCH ?
I have a dozen media converters installed on my PC, so would prefer not to have more if I can create a configuration to use one I already have... codecs / bitrates, etc.

No sound HTC TP2

Alright so my problem is, after using the htc touch hd video converter 2.1 from a .mkv file. The file plays with video and sound through coreplayer(but ofc being coreplayer its slow/choppy/etc). And playing through windows media player the video plays fine but there is no sound. I would like sound.
I've done a search but couldn't find anything helpful to me.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
This has something to do with the converter program I used. As I've converted a file using a different converter and sound works. Just need to up the quality of the sound a bit.
If anyone knows the perfect resolutions, audio and video bit rates for playback on the Touch Pro 2, please let me know here or PM.
I'd imagine 800x480 resolution, and something along the lines of 192 audio bit rate and 512 video bit rate, and MP4?

Video Encoding Parameters

Hi!
I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on what to set a video encoding program to for best use on the s3. Many programs have default profiles for the iphone, ipod, etc. My old Droid X had some suggested parameters, and wondered what others are using.
From what I've gathered, these look good. Can somebody comment and suggest if I'm on the right path or off the wall?
Video
Codec- H.264

Shield and HD Audio

I've been trying to find out what the DAC is in the Shield Tablet and if it will support high resolution audio but there is nothing on Nvidia's site and any audio related search just goes on about the speakers.
I'm going to load up some 192KHz/24bit FLAC files and see how it goes. Looks like it supports most formats but there is no mention anywhere of high resolution audio support. I hope if does not down sample.
Anyone have any experience?

In same position, not much info to find about the DAC. My main usage plan is as car dashboard tablet, so i don't want to go all audiophile and guess i have to see how it will play out. Else i will probably just end up investing in a proper HDMI de-embedder.
It would however be nice to know just a little about the DAC.
It won't support high-res audio because Android doesn't, it'll resample everything to 48Khz, regardless of the capability of the DAC. The only exceptions are devices where the manufacturer has added support for it, from memory only LG and Samsung to date. If you want HD audio get a USB DAC and use USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP). I use my Dragonfly 1.2 with my Note 4 and Shield Tablet, it'll do high-res via UAPP (or Hiby or Onkyo music players, I prefer UAPP). Personally I have no need for HD audio, but the external DAC and amp runs rings around the audio quality and amplifier grunt in tablets and phones.

Hi Res Music - Not enabled by Sony...or is it?

Hello XZP land!
I've had mine for a while (since launch actually), and I really love the device. However, I've come upon a conundrum that I think needs some technical elbow grease (which I am not skilled to do).
I own some Hi Res audio, and my favorite player (Neutron), as well as some others, supports playback of it. The thing is, the XZP doesn't show as having the ability to, according to this Neutron thread on the matter Hi Res in Neutron. Our devices currently do not offer the Hi-Res options.
Qualcomm on their site for our chipset says;
Developed by an audio technology leader, Qualcomm Aqstic audio codec (WCD 9340/9341) supports high-resolution standards that recording studios use to master tracks, creating a pure audiophile listening experience. It has an integrated DAC (digital-to-analog converter) that supports native Direct-Stream Digital (DSD) and pulse-code modulation (PCM) Hi-Fi audio playback. DSD is a standard found on Super Audio Compact Discs (SACDs), and the Qualcomm Aqstic audio codec can decode DSD files natively. The DAC on the Qualcomm Aqstic codec has ultra-low Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise (THD+N), which means no additional noise or signal is added for the most authentic sound reproduction. The Qualcomm Aqstic codec is also designed to give you the highest dynamic range available, so you can feel the dramatic change of volume and emotion in your favorite music.
SO I know the chipset can do it.
Now, Sony provided us with the "DSEE HX" quality audio setting... and it says "upgrade quality of compressed music files to 'NEAR' Hi Res'". Meh, okay, so you can muck around with compressed files and make em sound better. I don't believe that resolves my issue, and enables anything firmware wise.
I believe this means we need to enable the feature via firmware and bypass Sony's attempt at audio features in their DRM space. Has anyone been able to enable this in Neutron? How's your Hi-Res playback?

Why not just use the stock Sony music player for hi res playback? Hi res audio files have been supported since the Z2 and onwards. You can just use the Sony music player for hi res and neutron for everything else. I think that its auto enabled by default within the Sony music player. When you see the "HR" logo on the album art I suppose that means its enabled.
If your trying to enable the same thing in neutron and it doesnt work because theres a toggle. Id blame the creators of the app or simply Google for the lack of support. It can be one of 2 things stopping it from working for you. The android os or the app itself. I dont use neutron personally and never have. Ive always used the Sony one after I gave up on poweramp. I wouldnt blame the device itself. Its just like my issue of vulkan support whereby apps cant see that the device does support it. In that case I would blame Google. This is as much help as I can offer.
Hi-Res is enabled out of the box with the in-built Sony Music application and contrary to what RJASSI21 said, the HR logo does not appear on all Hi-Res audio tracks album art, only on 24bit Hi-Res tracks album art and I have been using Hi-Res audio on my Z5P and my XZP but I have only ever used the Walkman/Music app provided by Sony and it works.

Thanks to both of you for the info. I am going to see if I can get the Neutron dev to add the libraries or whatever's needed to get that app where I want it.

Much appreciated! I was looking for these Neutron settings on the XZP too since they were n my LG V10 (before it died on me last week). Neutron music player has been my go to player for several years now so here's hoping we get some positive updates soon.
Thank you!
There was an update to Neutron for Oreo support yesterday and now I can finally see the Hi-Res Codec and Hi-Res Speaker options.
